Author: Jane WynnCompany: Chilerose DesignsCopyright: 2008 Chilerose DesignsFabric: Yarns in color of your choice, I used Aran in place of white, gold for the yellow.

All of the cross stitch X are equal to a full granny square, the half stitches are bi-color granny squares. All white areas are done in Aran in the example. I don’t personally care for white as feel it’s too stark. You can always change the colors to suit your special hat.I used Carons about 24 oz of Black, about 24 oz of Red Heart Aran, approximately 3 oz of the gold. These granny squares work up extremely fast.I used a size H crochet hook, this resulted in a granny square that was about 3 inches. A G hook will result in square being around 2 ¼ inches.My finished size without adding a border is 49 inches by 53.5 inches.Total Squares needed:Black 119Black/aran 13Gold 9Gold/aran 2Aran 241Solid Granny SquareWith Size H hook, ch 4, join with a sl st to first chain to form a ring.Rnd 1: Ch 3, 2 dc in ring, ch1, (3dc in ring, ch1 ) three times, join with sl st to top of beg ch 3.Rnd 2: Ch 3, turn, 2 dc in first ch 1 sp, ch 1, 3 dc in same ch 1 sp, ch 1 (3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc, ch 1) in remaining 3 ch 1 sps, join with sl st to top of beg ch 3, finish off, weave in loose ends.

Note: Sandra made me stop and realize the versatility of this. I know I’m going to embellish it a bit but she sent a little note about envisioning it as a multicolored hat with a spider hanging off the end. I like that so I’m going to give it a try sometime later this year to see how it would look. Thanks Sandra for a great idea.

This is one way for me to spread a little bit more about this newsletter. It is created with pagans in mind. Especially those that enjoy crafting, I try to bring each month a few crafts that are pagan related. Also has recipes to try and tips. I hope you'll join us as we walk this spiral journey. Here you'll find the newsletter, suscribe if you think it's a good idea. and enjoy
